Celebrating Good Co-production: Bild Annual Members Event 2022

Join us for this exclusive, free Bild member’s virtual conference shining a spotlight on good examples of co-production in practice from across the sector.

We’ll be joined by professionals and experts by experience sharing some of the brilliant co-produced projects and initiatives that they have participated in this year. Speakers include:

• Samantha Clark, CEO at Learning Disability England
• Seema Islam, Parent-carer and chair of the Parent Carer Forum
• Mother of Oliver McGowan and multi-award-winning activist Paula McGowan OBE

• Helen Toker-Lester, an independent consultant with over 30 years’ experience working in a range of roles to support people
• Restraint Reduction Network Manager Alexis Quinn

There will also be opportunities for you to ask questions and share your thoughts and experiences with other members.
